So I just got back from GenCon, and boy is my everything tired.

I had a great time, better than last year. As always, the best part was seeing people I haven't seen in forever. Second place, though, goes to Video Games Live, which was phenomenal. I almost didn't go because no one else I was there with wanted to, but Mark (happy birthday!) acceded ( Read more... )

So, I've been thinking a lot lately about just what it is that I want out of life ( Read more... )

Alright. I've apparently decided to take another crack at this LJ thing.

No promises on reading other people's journals, though; it's mostly because I'm incredibly bad at keeping a paper journal. (When did handwriting get so much slower than typing?)

When you don't have an environment (like school)  that provides you with a lot to write about, there's really not a whole lot to write in a journal. But when you don't have time between work, classes, and all-consuming video games, it's sort of moot anyway. (Who am I kidding? inked_caduceus is in med school and still finds time to write.)

I'm not entirely sure whether or not I want to go; it sounds like a lot of time outside in the cold, and I don't really know what there is to do in Reno other than work and gamble.

I posted last week about being burnt out on work, and tonight, no fewer than three of my friends posted about their own burnout. All I can say is, you guys are way behind the times. That was SOOOOO last week.
